The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 61/777,035 filed on Mar. 12, 2013.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for a towel. More specifically, the present invention is a towel that can snap to an item such as a golf bag which allows for easy access.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Golf bags typically have a towel ring to which a player can tie or clip a golf towel. Golf towels are typically used to wipe hands, clean golf balls, dry golf balls, clean golf club faces, and dry golf club faces. Golf players normally hang the golf towel on the towel ring by putting the ring through the golf towel's grommet and securing the golf towel by either snapping a clasp or by sliding the arm of the towel ring under a recessed area on the other arm of the towel ring. This can be cumbersome and requires the golf players to spend a great deal of time securing the golf towel to the golf bag. Additionally, most of the hanging golf towels tend to drag across the ground surface when the golf bag is moved from one place to another, where the dirt creates a dirty bottom end within the hanging golf towels.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to introduce a golf towel with an attachment apparatus so that the user is able to easily attach the present invention to the golf bag. The user can also easily detach the present invention from the golf bag when necessary. The present invention saves a user time and frustration while allowing the user to fully enjoy his or her recreational activities.

DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

The present invention is a golf towel 1 with an attachment apparatus so that the present invention can be easily attached with a golf bag 4. In reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 7, the present invention comprises a main body 2 and a female snap-attachment 3, where the female snap-attachment 3 allows the users to either secure the present invention with the golf bag 4 or remove the present invention from the golf bag 4 when necessary. Even though the present invention is preferably utilized with the golf bag 4, the present invention is not limited only to the golf bag 4 and can be used with many other products as long as the female snap-attachment 3 is able to secure the present invention.

In reference to FIG. 2-FIG. 6, the main body 2, which is similar to a typical towel, comprises a first section 23, a second section 24, a third section 25, an upper border weave 21, and a lower border weave 22. The main body 2 is preferably made from cotton or any other clothing materials that are used as cleaning materials. The first section 23 is adjacently connected with the second section 24, and the third section 25 is adjacently connected with the second section 24 opposite of the first section 23. Additionally, the third section 25 is foldably positioned behind the second section 24, and the first section 23 is foldably positioned behind the second section 24 and the third section 25. More specifically, the third section 25 is completely positioned behind the second section 24 while the first section 23 is partially positioned behind the second section 24 and the third section 25. The upper border weave 21 and the lower border weave 22 are oppositely positioned from each other across the main body 2, where the upper border weave 21 and the lower border weave 22 function as the reinforcement edges to the main body 2. More specifically, the upper border weave 21 is adjacently connected with the first section 23, the second section 24, and the third section 25, where the upper border weave 21 is extended from the first section 23 to the third section 25 along the main body 2. Similarly, the lower border weave 22 is adjacently connected with the first section 23, the second section 24, and the third section 25, where the lower border weave 22 is extended from the first section 23 to the third section 25 along the main body 2 opposite of the upper border weave 21. Since the upper border weave 21 and the lower border weave 22 function as the reinforcement edges of the main body 2, the upper border weave 21 and the lower border weave 22 are made with a higher thickness compare to the thickness of the first section 23, the second section 24, and the third section 25.

In reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the female snap-attachment 3 that comprises a female fastener 31 and a retainer cap 32 is connected with the first section 23, the second section 24, and the third section 25 adjacent to the upper border weave 21. More specifically, the female fastener 31 is adjacently positioned with the first section 23, and the retainer cap 32 is adjacently positioned with the second section 24. A connecting stem 33 of the retainer cap 32 is respectively traversed through the second section 24, the third section 25, and the first section 23 so that the retainer cap 32 can be connected with the female fastener 31 through the connecting stem 33 in order to secure the main body 2. In other words, the female fastener 31 and the retainer cap 32 are pressed together to complete the female snap-attachment 3 and to retain the exact positioning of the first section 23, the second section 24, and the third section 25. The female fastener 31 and the retainer cap 32 are made from high strength and durable materials that can withstand constant pressure, such as brass, steel, high strength plastic, and stainless steel. Since the female fastener 31 and the retainer cap 32 secure the main body 2 adjacent to the upper border weave 21, the durability of the present invention significantly increases due to the increased thickness of the upper border weave 21. The increased thickness of the upper border weave 21 provides stronger grip surfaces to the female fastener 31 and to the retainer cap 32. As a result, the main body 2 is able to achieve a stronger bond with the female snap-attachment 3 so that the main body 2 and the female snap-attachment 3 are able to withstand the constant force applied on the present invention during the removal of the main body 2, eliminating any kind of unnecessary separation of the main body 2 from the female snap-attachment 3.

In reference to FIG. 7, the attachment between the present invention and the golf bag 4 is facilitated through the female snap-attachment 3 as the female fastener 31 is able to selectively engage with a male fastener 5 of the golf bag 4. Since the rain hood receiving collar of the golf bag 4 comprises multiple male fasteners 5, the users have the option of attaching the present invention with any one of those male fastener 5 of the golf bag 4 upon their preference. To secure the present invention with the golf bag 4, the users need to attach the present invention to one of the male fastener 5 of the golf bag 4 so that the present invention is available for the users all the time. The multiple male fasteners 5 allow the users to attach the present invention to the left side, front side, or right side of the golf bag 4. When the users need to use the present invention, the users need to pull the present invention from the golf bag 4 in order to separate the present invention from the attached male fastener 5 of the golf bag 4. The present invention can be easily attached back to one of the male fastener 5 once the users are finished using golf towel 1.

In order to implement the proper placement of the present invention, the present invention is completed with a preferable height of 27 inches so that the present invention does not make contact with the ground surface when the present invention is utilized with the standard golf bags 4.

The first section 23, the second section 24, and the third section 25 provide three separate cleaning surfaces to the users of the present invention so that the users can use each of the cleaning surfaces separate from one another. For example, the users can use the first section 23 to clean the first layer of residue from an object, and the second section 24 to clean the second layer of residue from the same object. Due to the fact two separate sections are used to clean the same object, users can keep away the first layer of residue away from the object during the second round of cleaning.

The present invention may also comprise a logo label or a logo section, where the logo label or the logo section visually expresses any kind of advertisements and personalized monograms. The logo label or the logo section is generally positioned on the second section 24 so that the logo label or the logo section can be easily displayed when the present invention is engaged with the golf bag 4.
